The Red Balloon by Lee Frangiamore

£ 29.00

Albert LaMorisse’s Red Balloon is the only short to win a full Oscar, in this case for Best Original Screenplay. If you have seen the film you will not have forgotten it. Simple, evocative hauntingly allegorical, written, produced and directed by LaMorisse. I’d say the only more recent film to match it is Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman and as a full length feature perhaps Into The West by Mike Newell.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
